On “Taken”, MUNA sings from the perspective of a person who likes someone who is already taken. She doesn’t want to want someone who is like her father, but wants the validation that comes from being the other woman – from stealing someone away.

Taken Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Pulled up, quarter to 11
Waited a minute 'til you went in
We talked and then we stopped talking
Put on a song and we listened
I know that I make you nervous
I do it half on purpose
You know I think you’re precious
Yeah, I think you're a good person
[Pre-Chorus]
So why do I wanna blow up your life?
[Chorus]
I'll be a very good girl
I won’t even think about it
I'm just feeling like I can't help it
I know you said you had a girlfriend
I just want it if it's taken
If it's taken
[Verse 2]
Dad left when I was 11
Mom said it was 'cause he couldn't
Keep from touching other women
Some things have a way of sticking
And now I'm standing in your kitchen
You said you told her you were leaving
And I can’t help thinking
I hate you ’cause you're just like him
[Pre-Chorus]
So why did I have to blow up your life?
[Chorus]
I’ll be a very good girl
I won't even think about it
I'm just feeling like I can't help it
I know you said you had a girlfriend
I just want it
[Bridge]
I just thought that if I could take you from her
Maybe then it would prove that I’m worth something
Now I'm alone and I'm hurt
Wishing I'd taken you at your word
When you said that you were taken
[Chorus]
I'll be a very good girl
I won't even think about it
I'm just feeling like I can't help it
I know you said you had a girlfriend
I just want it if it's taken
[Outro]
I know you said
I just want it
